Here’s some incredible “Attack on Titan” cosplay featuring a pair of cosplayers working together. Luvnatsu and GQBravo look their parts perfectly from the hair and makeup to the weapons to those gorgeous jackets!

Well done steampunk costumes are always fun to look at, and Fashionably Geek reader Bryan has shared photos of his beautiful steampunk Stormtrooper costume with us. It was his first costume, and he finished it just in time for Dragon Con. The armor seems like it was challenging – he made it all himself from Worbla, craft foam, and leather. I love the gold details on the armor; I think it adds a Victorian feel to the ensemble.

Bryan was inspired by a 3D design by Albert Feliu of original steampunk Star Wars art by Bjorn Hurri. Seeing designs like this come to life is one of the reasons the internet is awesome.

Here’s a weird concept; a family goes away on vacation at Disney World, the happiest place on earth. While they’re there, things take a turn for the worse and they find themselves in an absolute nightmare. Well, that’s exactly what Escape from Tomorrow has done via “secretly” filming on location.

As a fan of horror, I can honestly say that I’m a little creeped out by this trailer. The thing is, I don’t think there is any way in hell this film gets released without Disney’s consent. The theme park is the film’s setting, and obviously a major part of the story, referencing Disney properties multiple times in the trailer. I’m no legal expert, but it seems like they couldn’t do any of that if the Mouse didn’t approve.

So, I guess that means Disney somehow signed off on this horror flick, even though that doesn’t make much sense. I couldn’t blame them if they had shut this down though; why would they want something that brings in so much money to be shown in such a bad light? Either way, if this does somehow come out, you can expect it in theaters and VOD starting October 11th.

Only last week we reported on an interview Katie Sackhoff gave on the Schmoes Know podcast in where she sort of hinted she may have been talking with Marvel and Disney about her upcoming availability. Now, I’ll admit when I heard this I immediately jumped – ever so hopefully – to the conclusion this meant they might be eyeing her for the role of Captain Marvel. A character we’re all just waiting to be announced as joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, because come on, Carol Danvers NEEDS a movie, or at least a role in one.

Since then, Sackhoff has been making it blatantly clear we all heard wrong. In no way did she say Disney or Marvel had been inquiring about her schedule. I’ll leave it to you to go back and listen to her interview on the podcast to see if she’s lying, ’cause I’m pretty sure that is what was said, however awkwardly. Anyway, here’s what Sackhoff is saying now,

You know, you say one thing… People love a good story, even if it’s a story that has very little truth to it. If you go back and actually listen to what I said, I said that people have checked my availability. I never said Marvel [or] Disney so it’s interesting how people twist stories to serve an agenda that makes people click on their site, or sell their papers.

I absolutely have not spoken to Marvel. It doesn’t mean that my team hasn’t spoken to Marvel. I personally have not spoken to Marvel and have no plans to do a movie in the immediate future, because number one I’m tied up with Somnia which is a fantastic place to be. It’s exactly where I wanted to be.

Yeah, yeah, I hear ya trying to wiggle out this one, Sackhoff, by saying your people may have spoken to Marvel, but you haven’t. I see what you’re doing here. It’s the age old “I didn’t say it, but I’m not really denying it either” trick. And in the world of superheroes and the actors who will play them, that’s the usual response until something’s confirmed.

That being said, were things to develop in such a way that Marvel would seek Sackhoff for Carol Danvers, she’s all for it,

Yeah, I’m sure if we dug deep enough there is a sect of fans that don’t want me for Ms. Marvel so let’s just leave it at they want me for Ms. Marvel and that’d be fantastic. I would love to do the role. Of course I would love to do the role. I think that it’s in my wheelhouse and I would enjoy it. I’d be stupid to turn down a Marvel movie but as far as I know, Ms. Marvel isn’t even in the next movie.

As far as we know Ms. Marvel/Captain Marvel isn’t in the next Avengers, either, but like I said above she’s probably one of the most anticipated characters to join the film franchise. Where do you stand on this whole Sackhoff as Captain Marvel business? Is it something you’d like to see? Do you think it secretly is happening? Behind the scenes? As we speak!?

It looks like Channing Tatum wants to jump into the superhero movie game, and he’s already got the character picked out; Gambit. According to the White House Down actor, he’s been wanting to do a superhero movie, and he thinks he’d be perfect in the role of the Cajun X-Man.

I would like to play Gambit. Gambit’s my favorite. I’m from New Orleans, around that area. My dad’s from New Orleans, and I like to do a Cajun accent. I could do it for real. No knock on Taylor Kitsch, though, ’cause I actually like his Gambit, but I’ve always lived around Cajun people. […] Gambit was always like the woman-loving, cigarette-smoking, drinking [guy]. He was the punk rock of all the superheroes. He’s a thief. He kind of rode the line.

It seems unlikely that Fox would bring Tatum in to take over the character in a future X-Men movie, but it’s out there now. Considering the X-Men Origins: Wolverine version of Gambit was pretty lackluster, coupled with the character’s popularity, it’s not the most farfetched idea out there, but we’ll have to wait and see if anything comes of it. So, Nerd Bastard readers, is this something you’d like to see?

The summer weather might be gone and Fall is bringing on the rain, but that doesn’t mean we can’t bring a little heat to your weekend…if you know what I’m saying? Anyhoozle, it’s another rousing edition of the Sexy Cosplay of the Week – your little slice of warm nerd pie. This week, we head to the home of hopes and dreams of Los Angeles, California with Liz Katz.

Making a name for herself back in 2007, this LA dream girl has been on quite the move since she started cosplaying. Becoming a writer and model in her free time, Liz has also been making friends with stars like Steve-O and Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist channel. She’s also heavily involved in the gaming community. At her heart, though, Liz is all about her cosplay, cementing herself with the best of em’.

From Lara Croft and Princess Peach to Star Wars‘ Princess Leia, check out more after the jump.

I’m sure a lot of people were psyched when it was first announced that the guy who made that awesome Mortal Kombat: Legacy web-series (Kevin Tancharoen) would be directing the next Mortal Kombatmovie, but it’s been a while since we’ve really heard anything more about it. We know that the second “season” of the Machinima series is due out soon, and we know that the movie is happening, but we now have a status update on the movie’s script, as well as how the Legacy series will relate to the feature length film, thanks to an interview with ComingSoon.

We’re still pushing through on that. The script is in a good place, we’re just kind of figuring out the budget and locations and that whole process is where we’re at.

Well, I guess we’ve still got some time to sit and wait anxiously for the movie to be made. In the mean time, I’m sure a lot of people are wondering how the movie will tie into the series that inspired the folks over at Warner Bros. to give another film a try; as it turns out, they actually won’t be connected at all.

I think everyone’s intention is to start fresh because we want Legacy to live on its own possibly for multiple seasons, and when it comes to Mortal Kombat, it’s been around for 20+ years. We’re going to take the mythology and add another layer on it so it can live on for another 20 years, or more! I think this is a unique opportunity to set that ground work.

I guess that makes sense, but I was sort of expecting the movie’s story to somehow be connected to the story of the series, which has been a pretty big hit with fans and critics. I mean, there was that silly Mortal Kombat: Konquest show, and that went on around the same time as the crappy movies, so I don’t see why two decent versions of the franchise can’t co-exist.

I’ll be honest; I’m not entirely convinced that a Mortal Kombat film can work, and I’m not sure I want to see them try again. As with most things in the entertainment industry, I have a feeling they are going to move along without my konsent.

Dantes Infernowas one of the most brutal and visceral games in playable history. In the game, you play Dante, a man that travels thru Hell (nine rings of hell to be specific) to rescue his girlfriend Beatrice. Being Hell and all, you encounter sights beyond sights and horrors beyond horrors. The most of repugnant of which, may have been the embodiment of Lust. A 50 foot tall, naked, Gothic witch with legions of dead demon spider babies crawling out of her nipples poised to kill you (not to mention that every structure in that level was shaped like a dick or tit). If anything, the game made for a good recruiting tool for Christianity. Never was saving someone’s soul been so hardcore! If you thought the game was the ultimate detestation, wait till you see the movie!

Deadline reports Fede Alvarez, who gained a freight fame with his reboot of the Sam Raim’s The Evil Dead, is in talks to helm an adaptation based on the Electronic Arts game.

The rights to Dante’s Inferno were purchased by Universal back in 2008 before the game, but when released ( 2 years later) the reception or lack thereof, derailed adaptive plans. Why on earth would Sony now want to make a movie for geeks based on a videogame that had LOUSY sales? Well, as the ole’ adage goes… “Hollywood is out of ideas”.

Why not make a Dante’s Inferno film based on Dante’s Inferno, the poem? Epic Poetry not good enough for ya Hollywood?
